. THK WEST VIRtSIXIA AND THE EAR EAST
Largest and most powerful of all American battleships, the West Virginia
Ms launched Saturday at Newport News. Wh?n we pause to consider this mag
njflcent flght'.rj* machine, the thougnt that Immediately arises is?will she ever
ha used" Should the plan which the Washington conference is now considering
h* earned out. our great new battleship wtll he junlred without ever having met
an enemy or having passed through any of the normal peace time activities of
a, warship.
Will the West Virginia ever he used n war or kept m leadines* fot the pos
i
aibllity of war? If or.? could answer that qu >st'on eorreetly he could foretell
tHe fata of the Washington conference ami mu< i of the history of the world in
the next few years. Success of the plan advanced hv Secretary of State Hughes
it\eans that the West Virginia, together with many other warcraft or- this and
foreign nations, will he consigned to the scrap h-uip. Failure <>i anv considerable
modification means that the West Vvrg.nla will fulfill her destiny as a sea fighter.
Her launching is coincident with uncertain.y as to what the Washington
conference will do. Hope that set hearts heating around the world a little more
than a week ago is still bright., and its fulfillment is confidentiv expected. Ureal
Britain and 'apln have endorsed the drastic limitation plan lr\ principle, and no
vjtal obstacle has appeared
? That the oth-'r nattons. particularly tlieat Hr tain and .Japan, v* .??.!? 1 wish to
S9 into the subject thoroughly is but natural. The various deegat mis at Wash
irrgton must be prepared to answer to their people at home for what tiicy do
They are certain *o h" criticised by some elements no matter what agreement i*
riaehed. hut if 'he agreement he one obviously fair ami just to all eotp-erned. the
criticism will come only from the jingoes and i lasses with special interests in
war preparations
The Far Hast may conceivably delay an jrnanont agteement. bot 'heie is
np indication so far that tt will be a permanent barrier. So far as reasonable
sftccess for the Washington confereme is concerned. we may a.most predict that
our great new battleship will not he used Possibly she may be saved through
some other arrangement, hut not because of Far Kastern problems.
LIVINGSTONE WAS FOUND 1
; FIFTY YEARS AGO
*La?t Friday marked the ftftteth ann;
versary of the finding of Pavid Living
stone In the wilds of Africa by .an ex
rSditlon headed hy Henry M. Stanley.
The expedition was organized and
financed by the New York Herald, and
rdtiiafn* one of the most brilliant and
successful expeditions exer undertaken
by a newspaper. It cost the Herald
thousands of dollars and no end of hard
work, and It brought no financial reeom
p^nse. yet it khu' to the world informn
ten of incalculable value and to Stanley
everlasting fame.
.The story Of the Inception of tlie ex
{?edition. the hardships encountered, the
first meeting of Stanley and Livingstone 1
In, the little African village of I'JIJI. the
fqur months during which Stanley re- *
malned with Livingstone, the return of
x the expedition and everthlng else per
taining to it read like fiction. Stanley
had Just returned to Madrid, fresh from
the-carnage of Valencia, when on Octo
ber 1?. he received a message from
James flordon Bennett, the publisher of j
the New York Herald, summoning him '
to' Paris. Stanley* went to Paris, and
was commissioned by Bennett to under- !
take the search for Livingstone, whom
Bennett believed to be alive and some
where In the jungles of Africa, where he
had started on an expedition of ex
ploration. investigation and a< a mis
sionary*. It was a message-to-* Jarcia
Mke undertaking f.-r Stanley. His sole
adjuration was to 'disregard the ex
pense, but And Livingstone."
Two years and a month passed from
the time Staniev received Bennett's
mpssage at Madrid until he shook the
hand of Livingstone on the eastern
alfore of Lake Tanganyika. Two years,
bvjt how pregnant with fatigue, hard
ships. sickness, peril ^.and torture of
?out' Prom March 21. 1871. until No
vember 10 of the same year the expedi
tion had marched hundreds and hun
daeds of miles, waded swift and danger
ous rivers, ascende.dand descended steep
pathless hills and mountains, traversed
forests, crossed salt plains that blis-1
terea ?nn ourm me ten. mm .-is
through th? Intense heat of an equa
torial sun. "I was so different at the
?rid." aald Stanley, "that Identity was
lost; I was terriblv emaciated and
changed; 1 was much older In appear
ance. and my hair had became gray."
Tjuly an undertaking beset by the
gie&teat of hardships!
'All the world knows the success of
ihe expedition. Livingstone was found
and given provisions f->r four years be
fore Stanley bid him adieu. After the
departure of Stanley [>r. Livingstone
continued his explorations and h's In
vestigations until the day of his death.

\ shrunken market ?xiepted. the
iriinti' ti that tlic coal industry of West
'irgmia finds itself in at present, and
lie outlook for the future It faces. Is.
?'cording to the opinions expressed by
?ading operators of the state, who have
n en in Washington holding a business
.inference, better than It has been In
or years.
\i! the indications are tbat the su
ii onto wage crisis in the coal mining
rultistry in tlie t'nitod States is to bo
tag'd in West Virginia early next year.
I".e operators are going to exert every
? mice of their combined and united
? trength to extend the "open shop *
nroughout the rtate. and they nre more
?losely organized and harmonious, they
?lalrn, than they have been in the his
or> of the industry in West Virginia.
The West Virginia delegation in con
fess is to caucus this week to decide
ivh.it is to lie done on the Walsh bill
ivliivh proposes to create eighteen addl
i..n;iI federal district judges, one of
lii?m to be appointed in the fourtli cir
uit. of which West Virginia is a mem
ber. Tiie bill was reported to the house
a*t week.
As reported, the bill does not stipu
late that the new district Judge foe
tha fourth circuit shall come from Vir
ginia. It did, however, when the bill
came before the committee. Congress
man Goodykoontz put up a strong light
to have West .Virginia substituted for
i Virginia, and the committee did strike
J Virginia 01* of the bill, but it did not
substitute West Virginia. It decided
? to lca\e it open and let the house de
? cido It. .Mr. Goodykoontz did not re-#
j quest t?ucii action, nor was that result
pleasing to him.
It means a strenuous contest on the
floor between the Virginia and West
Virginia delegations, the-former's forces
being marshaled and led by the repre
tentative from the Fifth district. For
it :s a cer'ninty that the West V'r
1 ginlans are going to tight, but just?what
plan of battle they will decide on re
mains to be developed at their caucus.
The feeling between the members from
the two Virginias is none too friendly
at this time, nor has It been for some
1 time past. The West Virginians claim
thai. Virginia has gotten from the ad
ministration far more than it was en
titled to and deserved." When Judge
Waddill. of Richmond, was appointed
1 from the district to the circuit ltench
, for the fourth circuit, diplomatic rc*a
; tions. so to say. were off as between lire
two delegations.
